Re: [Pythoncard-users] hoping for more input

[Thomas H. <tho...@io...>]

I am one of those people knowing nothing about a Mac or HyperCard.
I tried to follow the link on the homepage to find out more about
HyperCard, but I gave up quickly. IIRC, there was more or less marketing rant.
Seems (if I am typical), that the name 'PythonCard' really scares people
away from this project?

Kevin has written up a lot of docs about the state of this project, which
I have only skimmed...

Since I'm a developer of anygui, I _have_ been interested in this project
as far as my time allowed. I have several times looked at the screenshots,
and always had the impression that PythonCard progresses pretty fast - much
faster than anygui.

I've been playing with PythonCard some ten minutes yesterday
(running the samples, reading the source).

I should have known this before trying to understand PythonCard, it would
have made much more sense to me. I wondered all the time about this stack
and background stuff.
